Beat a bolt on 5.0 today On the way home from work a good looking 5.0 rolled up beside me. We talked after the run and we are pretty equally modded.
He has Cai, bbk long tubes, tune, borla exhaust, and its a 3.73 geared stick car.
I have a Cai, 1 7/8 Lts, and tune. 3.27s in my hoopty.
We ran from about 50 to 120. I pulled about a half a car in 2nd and into third, he stopped my pull at the top of his 3rd. He hit 4th and I was at the top of 3rd by then, pulled out about to about a car and a half. When I hit 4th he stopped my pull again. And then we had to shut down due to traffic.
I'll post some pics of his ride, cool guy. He was a bit suprised I was in an auto I think.

You realize im a 6 speed auto? My 3rd tops out at 101. I have it setup to shift at 6200 rpm, 1-2 is at 39, 2-3 at 69, 3-4 at 101, and 4-5 at 135. Here are some photos of his ride.

Lol. With drs from a dig, id expect him to win, but he didn't have drs and it wasn't a dig run....lol.
I couldn't pull when he was at the top of a gear but my car seemed to have more trq as I never lost any steam after a shift. I was a bit suprised. I guess the internets had me believing I was running john force.

I am not suprized one bit, but then again I dont go by what I read online more on what I see for real. The 5.0s are great cars and are a bit better on the strip with a cheaper easy tire swap and solid axle, but the SS is right there with it. Both on stock tires with a few upgrades these cars are very even and its gonna be the driver that wins the race. If your driving a ls3 car you would have won by more, bolt-on for bolt-on on the street in a roll race, my money is on the camaro on avg.
